Does anyone know what became of VH-TBO and VH TBQ?
Was lucky enough to be on their delivery flights in 78 and 79 albeit as a very young fella!
I still remember watching a navigator climb up to "look out the roof for a better view" somewhere over the Pacific.
I also remember looking out some of the very aft passenger windows and seeing the engines on both sides STOPPED and running to the then open cockpit and announcing my discovery to the crew! The engineer humoured me and came back to investigate. Of course I was looking at the first row of stators but I was made to feel like I had made an important discovery! Ahh to be five again!
Years later as a first year apprentice with TN I had the pleasure of sitting in the Captains seat during a ground engine run of VH-TBQ. Was almost as misty eyed then as I am now!
